Keenan Grey Blumenschein, 28, was found dead at his Conway, South Carolina, home off Hayloft Circle on the evening of December 31, 2024. What began as a possible suicide call to authorities quickly shifted when the Horry County Coroner’s Office determined he had been shot and killed. Keenan was a father, son, and brother remembered for his love of the outdoors, motorcycle riding, MMA kickboxing and rock climbing.

Police focused their investigation on his 18-year-old girlfriend, Kimberly Maggert, who had been dating Keenan since July 2024 and moved in with him about a month before the shooting. On January 1, 2025, Horry County Police arrested Maggert and charged her with murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime. A judge later set her bond at $150,000 and she was released to her parents’ home in Georgia under GPS monitoring, a decision that Keenan’s family publicly criticized.
